A newlywed couple whose love is certainly sky-high celebrated
the first few days of wedded bliss with a
Virgin Balloon Flights hot air balloon ride. Lianne and Chris from Shaw, Lancashire tied the knot on Saturday the 7
th of August at ‘The Riverside’ in Rochdale where they received their ‘
Celebration Package’ balloon ride vouchers as a wedding gift.
“The balloon flight was a wedding present from my Uncle John … we were overwhelmed at such a generous gift and we were so excited that we would be going in a hot air balloon!” said Lianne.
The couple who will jet off on Friday to Kuredu Island in the Maldives and then on to Dubai for their honeymoon, had both never flown in a
hot air balloon before and were extremely eager to start their airborne adventure as husband and wife.
“Chris' favourite part was helping the pilot and crew inflate and deflate the balloon, he helped with the crown line and ropes and the cold air inflation. My favourite was the lifting off from the ground!” she added.
Their ballooning experience was an early morning flight from
York Racecourse with pilot
Martin Collinson and they enjoyed around an hour in the air and a Champagne toast after landing. “We saw lots of great views; we particularly liked seeing York Minster and some beautiful houses... but also thought it was great to see the horses and other animals on the ground.”
Aboard the same flight as the happy couple was Rachel Foster from Holgate York, who celebrated her 18
th Birthday at 3000 feet in the air, seen here with her certificate signed by pilot Martin & endorsed by Sir Richard Branson! Happy birthday to Rachel from all of us here at
Virgin Balloon Flights.
